I just picked up his book Power vs. Force . Is this a credible work at all? I got through the first few pages, and it sounded far fetched to me so I wanted to know if it is worth reading all the way through. Thanks.

I find it very hard to believe that not a single person here knows about this book.

from the little i have read from the web he tries to incoporate everything in us humans to one single framework.
he's not the only one who tried to do this in the past and perhaps other men will follow his footsteps.
i didnt read the book but from what i read that he's trying to accomomplish with this book i would be very skeptical about its contents.
